Original Empire lost, but the spark remains v2 - original setting CK2 quest

These are dark times in the ravaged lands of the former Tasakarim empire, as the new, self-established noble houses and ancient bloodlines make war upon each other over the slightest, most minor of provocations. More often than not, provocations that are as illusory as large bodies of water in Hegada, and no more than pretexts for raiding and landgrabs. As the vile and merciless robber barons prey upon the opulent, debauched merchant princes. As doomsday fanatics and deluded temple zealots in equal measure cry out for holy wars and crusades against enemies of men and faith, with little difference on if the fiery sermons are carried out from the consecrated temple altars or dirt of poor village squares.

And, even more ominous, temple seers, sorcerer diviners and wandering madmen all agree that a maelstrom of chaos and woe is coming, not boiling out of the blood-soaked and strife-stained territories of what was once Tasakarim, but from the West, across the Dire sea that some still call the Cleft. From the toxic and twisted lands of mankind's ancient, implacable foes - The beastmen.



And there stand you, aware of all that and more, for you are Tasakar blood, and barer of Tasakar's greatest strength and direst curse, The Spark of Isanella, the great goddess of Stars and the personal patron of your family, and, once upon a time your empire.

The fate of the lands of your ancestors and its people are your heritage and your responsibility, for better or ill.
